RULES, BABY *

[DUMBLEDORE]

``registration

you can sign up with any name you want, but once you decide on your characters name, please change your display name. sure, this can realistically wait until you are approved or post your profile, but if you plan on filling out the app before posting it, then please change your name accordingly and make sure that your display name is all lowercase letters, and first and last names are requires, middle is optional, and please do not put punctuation in your display name. as for how many characters you can have, you can have as many as you'd like, but we ask they aren't all female since we would like to keep our ratio even. if the ratio is 5:1 or higher, there will be a ban placed on female characters.

``applying

on the note of applying, please post your application within 5 days of registering. we ask that you don't post any work in progress applications because, frankly, its not a long app. also, please fill out the application carefully and do not change the code. we'd also like for people to use people as play bys, and not drawn characters, since this is a real life RP and we'd like real people. do not try to pass of a 30 year old character as a 22 year old, unless the admins give it the go ahead, please.

``graphics

we would love everyone on this site (and by love, i mean require) everyone to have a 100x100 avatar and a signature of their choice, as long as it does not exceed a width of 450 pixels. if you can't make graphics, there is a graphics board where you can request some and people are always willing to oblige. if you can't get someone on here to do it, go to a site such as CAUTION. you have to join, but it's worth it.

``activity

we will not be posting activity checks but we would like for people to at least log on once a week unless they post an absence. people who do not log in for two weeks will most likely be deleted, along with their character(s). your phrase is 'snivellus'. you may have as many characters as you can handle, but if you choose to make more than one, try to make one boy for every two girl characters you have.

``roleplaying

we know everyone has a bad day every now and then, but on how we do, we have a posting minimum of 200 words a post. the staff will be paying attention to those who consistently do not make the word minimum, and if we catch this, we will talk to you. we are an intermediate to advanced role play site, so try to keep on par with the minimum.

   ``hogwarts    

IT'S ALL LIES is, as you should know, is a marauders era roleplay. so no harrys, dracos or hermiones, please. if you don't know much about the maruaders please pm an admin or ask a member. we'll be happy to help! also, we'd appreciate it if you had at least one canon as it would really help things along. try not to have all of your characters in one house - we don't want gryffindor to have like twenty members and ravenclaw only having two. the DUMBLEDORE * account will announce special events and the like. if your character is a prefect or head there will be a special board for them. by the way, we will have points so if you are given points, make sure you post in the point thread. prefects, heads and staff members will be pmed on point giving and taking.

``anything else

if you choose to join this site, thank you! we really appreciate it and we, the staff, would like to get to know each and every member, so don't hesitate to introduce yourself!! These rules were made by CHLOEOATS ! of CAUTION 2.0. no stealing.

xoxo
